This chapter from Social Work Practice in Africa: Indigenous and Innovative Approaches showcases examples of home-grown indigenous and innovative models of social work practice in Uganda, including local models for addressing the HIV/AIDS orphan crisis in Rakai district. "The documentation of these local models thus sets in motion the conditions necessary to achieve the indigenisation of the social work curriculum, that is, social workers having a clear understanding of the local values and appropriate models of intervention for effective service delivery to the community. The indigenous models presented fit very well within the call by Gray and Allegritti (2002) upon social workers to clearly define and describe indigenous models of social work helping."
